I can't imagine any real relationship being a function or having no directional dependence.

hey Jeffersonclay, why did you draw something exponential near the bottom instead of linear or logarithmic, both of which have at least some justification?

Why did you draw a function, when the likelihood of that being the case is close to nil? Why do you have no thresholds, when the likelihood of those, because of government assistance and the way expenses work, is pretty high? Why do you only have a single peak value?

Why is your graph so terrible?

Once again that's a whole lot of terms with no actual meaning behind them. Not sure what "fractional uncertainties" you're talking about but still not sure how you think essentially taking the mean and doing tests on it is better than using the actual raw data. Any problems you have in the data that affect ols coeffs affect the mean. This is really simple.

Still not sure how you think r2 which you now admit is irrelevant to testing a coefficient "helps confirm" anything. Does the sky being blue also help confirm that a murder happened?

Fractional uncertainty is uncertainty as, well, a fraction. Not knowing that it's kinda basic to literally everything involving statistics does a great job as outing you as an idiot.

Also the sky being blue confirms that the murder was on earth. You continue to be an idiot.
